The FinTechGermany Awards ceremony took place in conjunction with the grand opening of the Tech Quartier, Frankfurt’s newest FinTech Centre on November 17, 2016. The jury, consisting of high caliber personalities and experts from finance, capital markets, regulation and FinTech, chose the winners from four categories: Early Stage, Late Stage, Growth Stage and Foreign New Entrant to Germany. Winners’ business models should show the most promise for future success and to add long term value to the marketplace. With a top sponsor like Deutsche Boerse Group, alongside other prominent companies and institutions like EY, Baker & McKenzie and the IHK Frankfurt, the awards were able to win over a broad base of support.
